Message from the founders: While we try to find books that are the choice of the majority, there may be times that you find that you choose not to read that month's book whether it be time contraints, personal preference, trigger-warnings, or any other reason, and that is okay. You are under NO OBLIGATION to share with the group that you are skipping out on that particular read, unless you choose to do so. Please stick around during that month to enjoy being a part of our group on our chitty-chatter channel where we don't talk about the book, and pick back up when you're ready. We also offer an alternate book read each month from one of our indie author friends.
Name
This is required to keep our community safe.
Are you at least 18 years old?
Do you understand that this is NOT a platform to sell merchandise or promote one author over another? (We have a fabulous author chat section and you are welcome to talk about your book, and even ask for advice and feedback, but putting your book purchase links is not allowed).
Do you agree to our NO SOLICITING policy that includes asking other members for money and/or gift cards, purchasing of books or other items, or for any other monetary or non-monetary gifts?
Do you understand that this Book Club will NOT tolerate disrespect, abuse, name-calling, or any form of harassment based on religion, disability, gender identity, sexuality, race, or ethnicity?
Do you understand that spoilers are not allowed, even if others in the group are behind in their reading?
Do you understand that if you violate any of our standards you will be IMMEDIATELY blocked from the Club?
What kind of books do you like to read? (Choose all that apply)
Should you have a problem with any person in this club, including the founders, do you promise to bring it to the attention of another founder or other person in a leadership position and avoid public bashing or shaming, as this would be devastating to the book club as a whole?
Birthday Gifts
Our club loves to recognize our members in a special way! Each month we list the people that have a birthday that month. It is optional for members to send gifts from that member's Amazon wishlist. Do you want to share your birth month?
Do you understand that in order to be eligible to receive birthday gifts you must consistently post in Discord at least once a week?
Are you interested in, and have the time to be considered for volunteer opportunities or a leadership position in the book club?

The following information describes our book fairy opt-in program, which is NOT required for The Cover Girls Book Club membership.

As we all know, one of the most wonderful things about Booktok is fairying! The founders have realized that if we want to “fairy” someone, wouldn’t it be GREAT if we faired each other in the group? You must “opt in” to this exchange if you want to be a part of it. Why? Because if you do, there is a commitment involved. You must be in a financial position to send ONE book per month, every month of the year. This is the only financial requirement.

BUT WHAT DOES THIS DO FOR YOU?

You might end up with a TON of books!

So how does it work?

The opt-in program is an optional benefit and not required for Club membership.

To participate:

  • Opt-in to the cover girls' book fairy opt-in group by selecting "yes" below, and you will automatically get one point on the wheel every month.
  • Every month, a wheel-spin drawing will be held among the members of the opt-in program.
  • If someone is drawn, opt-in members MUST send the winner ONE BOOK from their Amazon Wishlist. Sending additional books or non-book gifts is optional and won't result in extra points.

REMEMBER:

The only financial requirement is that you be in a position to be able to send ONE book per month, every month of the year.

PLEASE DO NOT skip a month without informing a founder or a member of leadership. If you skip 2 months in a row you may be removed from the fairy group.

Why So Strict?

We promote the number of books the wheel spin winner will receive based on the number of members in the group.

For instance, if we have 41 people in the opt-in fairy group, we will promote that the winner will receive 40 books. (41 members minus themselves is 40 books).

If someone does not fulfill their obligation of the opt-in group it isn't fair to the winner.

When you are the chosen recipient:

  • Send @emily5722 the names of everyone you received a book from. This is a non-financial OBLIGATION.
  • Please do not depend on leadership to notice your gift posts on TikTok or Discord. Our book club has too many amazing people, and the leaders are all volunteers.

Here's Where People Get Confused...

You'll notice that earlier in the application, we asked if people would like to have birthday gifts sent to them by members of our entire group. This is NOT A REQUIREMENT; it is simply our way of spreading the love to our other members.

IF YOU HAVE OPTED INTO THE FAIRY GROUP:

  • and you send a birthday gift to another member in their birthday month; regardless of whether or not they are in the fairy group, you will receive FIVE MORE POINTS for each birthday baby you send a gift to on the next month's wheel spin. Sending two different people a birthday gift will earn you ten extra points, and so on. However, sending one person two books still only earns 5 points.
  • The birthday gift you send is in addition to the regular gift you send to the recipient of that month's wheel-spin, not a replacement for your book fairy requirement. This means you will send at least two books that month. One is for the book fairy winner, and one is for each birthday baby. BUT AGAIN, BIRTHDAY GIFTS ARE NOT REQUIRED BUT OPT-IN WINNER BOOKS ARE! They are SIMPLY a way to earn extra entries on the wheel.

IMPORTANT:

YOU are responsible for telling @abbydavis6818 or @SaraEnnis if you sent a birthday gift to get your extra points. If you forget to submit your points, you cannot add them to the next month.

Every month, the points reset to 1 for each member. Points will stop on the 14th, and the wheel-spin for each month will be on the 15th.

Do you want to opt-in and send a book every month to the winner?
Do you understand that if you have opted in to the fairy program but have not taken time to understand the rules, you are still accountable to the monthly winner?

The following poem is beautifully written by one of our beautiful book club besties. While not written for our club, she notes that it is very appropriate for how we all feel about our love of reading.

Read between the Lines
By Meg Drey

My head hits the moss covered ground;

The trees grow and bend to my will,
Raising above me, the heavens no longer in view.
I release the breath I have been holding, lying still.
My eyes have never been more open;
My lungs have never able to breathe so clearly;
My heart has never beat with so much passion;
I have never loved life so dearly.
The fierce battle cry of the dragons
Surround the empty space.
My sword tucked tightly,
Blood dripping down my face.
My body does not deny me,
The strength I have holds true.
My legs push me back up
Despite what I have just fought through.
The wind cusps my face,
And escapes through my hair.
When I hear reality calling,
My mind crowds with despair.
The words on the page, give me my escape;
The worlds they build are much better than my own.
I would rather read by myself,
To finally not feel so alone.
